Giving an image to Europe research
The GCE-HSG wants to give an image to research on Europe at the University of St.Gallen, improve the exchange of information on Europe-related activities in teaching, research, consultancy and executive education, and institutionalise networking in a national and international context. The Center is affiliated to the Institute for Systemic Management and Public Governance (IMP-HSG).
The GCE-HSG has already taken initial steps towards the creation of an international network through close cooperation with the New Europe College in Bucharest and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Sofia. The new Center will be funded through the performance agreement with the State Secretariat for Education and Research.
